CVE-2024-56644 is a resource-leak flaw in the Linux kernel IPv6 routing path. When TCP invokes ip6_negative_advice() for an expired IPv6 exception destination cached by a socket, the socket's destination reference can remain unbalanced. The function previously took an additional destination reference immediately before resetting the socket destination cache; that increment counteracted the decrement performed by sk_dst_reset(). Once the expired destination has been removed from the exception table and the socket cache is reset, the destination object can no longer be released. The flaw affects IPv6; the corresponding IPv4 negative-advice path is not affected.
